Not for me

Sounds nice. The supercharger doesn't seem too loud in the vids. Would you say it's any louder than the stock?

IDK I almost prefer things like the supercharger/exhaust to be louder (to an extent). It drowns out all the creaks and moans my '02 has. I swear everything rattles

Also, what are you finally going to go with for an intercooler. It seems like it wouldn't be too hard to fab up a nice front mount. And, what is the cost looking like for this Rotrex Conversion when all is said and done?

we are doing a special top mount, should be here today but I am headed to Atlanta
remember the Rotrex runs much cooler inlet temps than the eaton so it isn't as necessary to have a front mount

we are hoping to keep the kit in the $4500 range but until all the final fab costs are finished I hate giving guestimating

Have fun in Atlanta. Want to see what SpiderX gets for numbers with your head now that he's back to the Eaton. Should be interesting.

this intercooler should support 325+whp so it should work on the stroker rotrex version also. there are some trick stuff you don't see on the intercooler because the competition is watching...
